we need to grow this economy in a big-time way. stronger and faster economic growth is the best way to successfully put americans back to work. to generate that growth and create those jobs, we must clear away the impediments government has imposed. we must reduce the uncertainty that discourages business from expanding and hiring. we must stop wringing our hands and start acting quickly and boldly to solve our problems. we must recapture what america can do, that americans. that will install new confidence in consumers and investors. growth will not solve all of our nation's challenges right away, but we can do a helluva lot more with growth and we can do without it. businesses will get more customers, government will get more revenues, and more importantly, americans will get more jobs if we focus on growth. so what must we do to get the stronger and faster growth we need to put americans back to work? i would like to suggest a few steps. some that can help create joe -- growth and jobs right away, and others will help over a lon

casey anthony has been a big hit. i do not see any alternative to the market making these decisions. for all that we belabor the simpson case, even that case had important public benefits. just to cite the most important, the public recognition and embrace of dna evidence as an important tool in law enforcement and in convicting the guilty and freeing the innocent. the fact that we have jurors who know about dna evidence and respect -- expected, that is a positive thing for a system that tries to be as accurate as possible. i wish the public was interested in nothing but high-minded cases. the fourth circuit audiences would get the same audience as casey anthony. but i lived in the real world. i do not see any alternative to letting the market decide what it's broadcasted and what does not. >> one more round. he said that the interest this law. the problem is that the public interest in race, sex, murder, abduction, it is very big. that is why we know about casey anthony. that is why the question is, what are we tryin

security challenges obviously remain a big problem. and i think that we're going to have to try to dig through all those problems today. i will tell you that if we do not get some strong, substantive answers, that every dime that's being spent in afghanistan on reconstruction is being spent wisely and being spent with the kind of oversight that we would expect if we were building a highway down the road in the united states of america. then i think it's time we focus on the mission where we are training security forces and we are working to provide stability against taliban and the kind of structure that we need to support going after al qaeda on the border of pakistan and afghanistan. perhaps it's time to shut down $17 billion worth of money going for reconstruction projects when our track record really stinks when it comes to reconstruction projects. now, i hope that you all are going to convince me i've become cynical and angry and frustrated about the way we're spending money in theater and i want to tell you i'm looking for good n
